Can anyone identify this part that fell off my GTD?

Hello everyone,

I'm new on here and have found the site after googling for the past hour in a desperate effort to try and identify a part that literally fell off my 2013 Golf GTD after it has recently been serviced :(

I drove over some bumps in the road (not potholes, just lumpy tarmac ripples) and heard a scraping sound.. I quickly stopped and looked under the car and could see what looked like a metal, half circle type bracket hanging down from beneath the engine compartment plastic under-tray; I assumed had just unclipped itself at one and and swung open.

On closer inspection (car up on high kerb on one side to allow me to reach the bracket underneath) I realised that it was actually being held by the plastic under-tray shielding but that it was in fact fully loose so I teased it out from the under-tray.

Here's what dropped out?

The number on this part looks to be 500 121 093M but I can't find this online as a VW Golf part.

If anyone can identify this part I would be grateful as I can then be a little more 'armed' when I take this up with the dealership.

Could it be 5Q0121093ED which looks to be the bracket for the additional water pump?

Looking at ETOS there are quite a few that all start 5Q0121093 then a letter or two, so I suspect it could be the same thing but different letter depending on engine etc.. the "ED" appears to be for Hybrid engines

If you PM me the VIN number I will see if I can find it better

Hey Stuart, many thanks for the swift and informative reply.

It looks like it is a 'Q' and not a '0' on closer inspection, so the part number is '5Q0 121 093M' as you suggest (I actually thought the tail of the 'Q' was in fact a small defect or where the metal had scraped with the road and taken a small ding, but it is indeed a 'Q')

I'll be contacting the dealer tomorrow morning and now at least have some idea what the bracket is.

Again, Many thanks.

Yes, it is the additional water pump bracket which works with 5Q0 121 093 EG, only used on the common rail 2.0L TDI 135Kw engine up to the 25/05/14 manufacture.

No problem, glad to help :)

Many thanks Crasher.

So am I correct in saying that the engine you mention is in fact the one in my 2013 GTD?

The reason I ask is because if the engine in my car is NOT the one that uses this part then perhaps the part has accidentally dropped in there; You do hear of mechanics leaving tools and whatnot in engine bays so I can fully believe that it might have accidentally been dropped in there and wasn't easy to recover so was just left etc and has managed to work its way out.

Yes thats the engine in your GTD ( same power output ) as Crasher identified.

Or fuel filter holder.
